This will get printed as:

cpufreq: cpufreq: Registered transition notifiers:
cpufreq: cpufreq: <func>+0x0/0x<address>
cpufreq: cpufreq: <func>+0x0/0x<address>
cpufreq: cpufreq: <func>+0x0/0x<address>

Maybe we want something like:
cpufreq: Registered transition notifiers:
  cpufreq: <func>+0x0/0x<address>
  cpufreq: <func>+0x0/0x<address>
  cpufreq: <func>+0x0/0x<address>

And, why don't we have support for disabling fast-switch support? What if we
switch to schedutil governor (from userspace) and then back to ondemand? We
don't call policy->exit for that.

Shouldn't this be accessed from within lock as well ?

Shouldn't we make it more efficient and write it as:

		WARN_ON(cpufreq_fast_switch_count <= 0);
		policy->fast_switch_enabled = false;
                cpufreq_fast_switch_count--;

The WARN check will hold true only for a major bug somewhere in the core and we
shall *never* hit it.

Unrelated change ? And to me it looks better with the blank line ..

Again here, why shouldn't we write it as:

		WARN_ON(cpufreq_fast_switch_count >= 0);

		if (!ret)
			cpufreq_fast_switch_count++;
